Louby, I have to defrost my freezer fairly regularly or the drawers in it won’t close smoothly but it’s worth it as I rely on it so much. As for the concentration difficulties - yep, me too! I can do it when I have a problem with a definite end point (give me a complicated spreadsheet any day) and I did ok with sorting papers the other day where what I was looking kept changing but other things… I am training myself to read again at the moment by making myself read with no interruptions for half an hour - it’s finally started working today and I’ve been lost in a book for the first time in months. For other stuff I am doing 15 minutes at a time and it’s possible to see progress even with that little. Hang in there - you can do it!

Now you’re just showing off! 😉 I have read 60 pages of a book and knitted half of the cuff of a new sock.

Well, I found my awake state by yesterday and had a really productive day - 6 hours on school stuff but with a walk and some ironing and cooking a proper meal too. It did rain briefly here - just after I’d finished 15 minutes in the garden! I have promised myself to do 15 minutes each day to try and restore some order out there - I am not a gardener. I had planned another school day today (I’d really like to clear the must do TDL this week) but to be honest I got up a little later than planned and really don’t feel like it. I’m just going to relax and maybe do some crafty stuff as I haven’t touched the knitting needles or crochet hook for weeks!

Oh my goodness Louby - I'm glad you were there to help but what a Friday! I woke up at 4am today and got up just before 6, then fell asleep on the sofa again about 10am. Currently trying to find the motivation to go and tidy something - anything. I do not like the first few days of the holiday when my body is just too tired and I keep falling asleep. I know it's what it needs but I still always feel lazy and like I'm wasting my holiday! Off to go and find tidying motivation...

I used to be really good at getting it all done. Now not so much!
-
I know what you mean, I’m snuggled under a blanket on the sofa and am decidedly chilly - contemplating putting the fire on! Currently I’m pondering summer holiday/next year resolutions!
-
I did! I have done two mornings in school just tidying - there is something just so lovely about having a proper amount of time to tidy when that is the only thing on your to do list! Now I'm home and contemplating my TDL for the summer - yes I know! I will switch off but I need to sort and get my head empty of school jobs and then I will be able to properly enjoy the time off. I have a family week away at the end of August. Other than that holiday plans include sorting the garden and spare room out (again!), reading, making socks, crocheting something new - maybe a blanket? Hope everyone else is having a good time.

Just had to say - I am finally on holiday! Now for a nap!

Sunnyday those sound like wonderful celebrations for you. I’m so pleased! I have 3 more days to go and the ‘before term ends’ TDL is epic. All a bit overwhelming really. I can do this!
